“Had a wonderful meet and greet with Brandon for my pup. Brandon was great in communication and just a joy to meet. Very obvious he loves dogs and takes this work seriously, which makes me less nervous to welcome someone new into our fold for the care of my big man 🐶. Booked for a walk and really appreciated the notes and special care of my dog and home during intimate weather. 10/10 ⭐️”
“She is seriously the BEST!! So sweet and amazing with Buster, always on time, and was so flexible with going over whenever I needed her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Buster was in such good hands. I will 100% be booking with her again and couldn’t recommend her enough!! 🤍🐾”
“I’m so grateful for the amazing care my dog received! She shared detailed updates and the sweetest photos every day, and it was clear my pup felt completely loved and comfortable. Coming home to such a happy dog says it all. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Cecelia is the best! Our dog is shy and gets anxious but he warmed up to her really fast. Cecelia took care of all our requests and went above and beyond playing with our dog and lotsa belly rubs. We'll definitely reach out to her again for future drop in visits!”
About: I've taken care of my own dog since I was 10 years old and spent years learning how to provide her the best care. As she's in her senior years, I've become more familiar with caring for older dogs. Through loving my own pet and pet sitting for others, I have experience with walking, feeding, and keeping pets as comfortable as possible while prioritizing their safety and happiness! I have a flexible schedule allowing me to incorporate walks, playtime, feeding, and any other needs into my routine throughout the week! I am also available to house sit earlier in the week and am more available for other services during the day. When house sitting, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I focus on maintaining their routines, providing attentive care, and treat homes with respect and responsibility.
About: I've cared for dogs and cats of every kind since I was a young child. I grew up with the responsibilities of caring for several dogs and cats, and have been trusted by neighbors, friends, and family to watch and love their animals for as long as I can remember. I have a lot of flexibility on the evenings and weekends to care for your babies. I work full-time in Leesburg, but I can build in mid-day walks for nearby homes. My evenings and available weekends can be dedicated to your pets. I will gladly follow your family's routine for your animals while you are away, and am responsible, tidy, and trustworthy in your home. I will abide by your requirements in terms of walks and adventures, and will keep your pets comfortable in their schedules and regular routines.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, especially terrier breeds, and I currently have a 12-year-old female English Bull Terrier. I raised her from just 8 weeks old, which gave me a lot of hands-on experience with puppies and a strong understanding of their needs, behaviors, routines, and energy levels. Because my current dog is now a senior, I also have experience providing senior dog care, including being patient with slower mobility, maintaining comfortable routines, giving extra attention, and understanding age-related needs. I know how important it is to create a calm, safe, and stress-free environment for older dogs. My dog is very friendly with other dogs, cats, and people, so I understand the importance of socialization, patience, and creating a loving environment for pets. I treat every dog like family and always focus on making them feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. I currently have a very flexible schedule because I am not working at the moment, so I have plenty of availability throughout the week. Because I have the flexibility to dedicate my time and attention to pets, I’m able to provide consistent care, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and individual needs to help reduce stress while their owners are away. For active dogs, I provide regular walks, outdoor time, playtime, and engagement to help them stay happy and exercised. For puppies, I understand the importance of patience, supervision, consistency, and maintaining routines. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the need for a slower pace, extra comfort, gentle care, and close attention to their mobility and behavior. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, receive plenty of attention and affection, and are always monitored for safety. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are being well cared for.
“Katrina was absolutely wonderful with our small dog during two home visits. She kindly offered to meet us beforehand, and our dog immediately loved her. I did, too! Also, Katrina is super responsible. She took the time to confirm several details before we left. I could relax knowing that she is truly on top of everything! During the visits, she sent pics, made sure our dog did his business, and played and snuggled with him. Our sweet dog was relaxed and happy when we returned. I could tell he had a fabulous day with Katrina! :) We are planning to schedule with her again!”
“Certified Cat Diplomat, Trash Warrior, and Wildlife Whisperer This review is brought to you by Ripley, Wallace, Humphrey, and Clancy-four highly judgmental cats who rarely agree on anything. Jaelen not only survived us, she fed the foxes, a doe, and her fawn, kept the flowers alive, and dragged both trash cans up a quarter-mile driveway like a mythic heroine. Wallace and Humphrey hid for most of the week like shadow spirits. Clancy probably thought about flinging his bowl. Someone barfed in the laundry room-we're not naming names-and yet Jaelen still smiled and sent adorable updates. We returned to clean dishes, calm vibes, and zero drama. 11/10. Would absolutely let her serve us again.”
“Mindy has been an excellent and reliable to work with. She took great care of our two cats while we were away for a week. She was very respectful of our home and went above and beyond to make our experience much better. I highly recommend working with her.”
“My senior pup had another wonderful drop-in visit from Monique. She took great care of him making sure he had a few treats, plenty of water, and helped him to bed after he slipped on the hardwood floor. I will continue to request Monique for all my pet sitting needs. Highly recommend her!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and love all animals. I work at a local dog boarding and doggy daycare facility so I have lots of experience with all sizes, ages and breeds of dogs. I will love your dog like they are my own and give them all the pets and playtime they need! I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to drop in and care for your dog(s) or take them for a walk. I’m local to the South Riding/Stone Ridge area. I will always make sure to treat your home with respect and care while dropping in with your dogs or taking them for their daily sniff around the neighborhood! I’m great at following instructions so I can care for your dogs the way you want them cared for.
About: I’m a huge dog lover and will give your dog(s) the love and care they deserve! I grew up with a German Shepherd mix, Max, who is now 10 years old! I have raised my little Ozzy since birth while I was on Active Duty in the Army - he is now 1.5 years old. I’m currently job searching, so I have plenty of time to walk your dog(s) and drop in for visits! I am flexible around your schedule. In my home, Max and Ozzy have room to play in the living room. We have a backyard but it is not fenced. I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood, and we always make friends while walking the dogs!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Riding
Our kitty has been dealing with some skin issues and needed some slightly special care while we were on vacation. Tamara followed all our instructions and kept us updated. We didn't feel worried at all while we were gone and we would absolutely trust her to care for our fur baby again!
Emily did a great job taking care of our cat! She was attentive to what care we requested and was able to adjust when circumstances called for it. She also sent us great pictures of our cat every day and communicated well how he was doing. Our cat got along well with her, and was his normal, happy self when we got home.
Had a wonderful meet and greet with Brandon for my pup. Brandon was great in communication and just a joy to meet. Very obvious he loves dogs and takes this work seriously, which makes me less nervous to welcome someone new into our fold for the care of my big man 🐶. Booked for a walk and really appreciated the notes and special care of my dog and home during intimate weather. 10/10 ⭐️
Jannatul is absolutely wonderful with our furbabies. She has such a calm and caring demeanour, which really puts our minds at ease whenever we travel overseas. My husband and I are particularly anxious about leaving our cats behind, but knowing they’re in Jannatul’s care gives us so much peace of mind. This is our second time using her services, and we will definitely be using her again. We highly recommend Jannatul to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and gentle with their pets.
As always, Sabrila took exceptional care of Cookie while I was away for three weeks. Knowing Cookie was in such loving and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind. She made sure all of Cookie’s needs were met, especially considering her age, and treated her with so much patience, care, and affection. Thank you, Sabrila, for always going above and beyond. I truly appreciate everything you do for Cookie, and I couldn’t ask for a better caregiver. Highly recommended!
This was our first time having Jackie assist us with our two cats while we were out of town. We have nothing but great things to say! We appreciate her experience with cats, and the attention to detail in learning the patterns of our fur babies - from their diet to the toys they like to engage with. We highly recommend Jackie and hope to use her services again in the future!
Wow!!! Let me say, I've never been so pleased and impressed with a dog walker like I am with Lashawn. He takes such good care of my babies and when I come home, I legit have zero concerns. House clean, exactly the way I left it. Dogs fed and walked. Lots of photos which I personally appreciate. He is extremely reliable and trustworthy. I can really see that he loves what he does. Not letting this gem go! Thank you sir
Nouf took great care of my senior dog and cat. She gave me peace of mind while my boyfriend and I were away. My cat ran out the door (because she’s crazy!) and she was able to quickly catch her and bring her back inside safely. Reliable, responsible, responsive, and gave detailed updates + lots of pictures! I would recommend her if you are looking for someone who can handle your furbabies!
This was my first time using the Rover app to find someone to help me with my new puppy. Aditi was highly reviewed and I must say she was incredible. Extremely response, showed up on time, communicated throughout the entire visit and was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in South Riding is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $34 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 15,377 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across South Riding. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Riding. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
